Manila
Marketing professional; Jewelry designer
I had the great fortune of being born into a family that lives in Asia, with Spanish and American roots; and so grew up surrounded by beautiful handicrafts, fine art and the treasures of many cultures. I started painting, making jewelry and other art projects just for fun when I was a child, and continue to enjoy these hobbies today. Many people have offered to buy my work, even if I just make them for my family and friends, and have not gone into any commercial venture. I appreciate the work and LOVE that go into each piece of handicraft, and make it a point to buy an original and indigenous piece from each country I travel to. I particularly love the art of Mexico and other pre-hispanic cultures.

I have just received Issaka Ibrahim's calabash mask `Chieftain'. It was bigger and more finely detailed than I had expected. I particularly admire the brass inlay representing the headdress. I also have the calabash box `Dogon Gift'; it will make a very unique jewelry box. These are the first items I have seen carved from gourds, and I marvel at the artistry and care required to make them. I love that simple materials can be made into beautiful and useful items, and look forward to seeing more of Issaka Ibrahim's work.
